shit thoiboi.. you're late to everything..

upgraded tires RLX > *

polobunny

I imagine so. Like I said it's like a mindset issue from my part. I value that 70K to be much more worth it in a Tesla than an RLX.
At the same time I think there lies the problem with Acura and the RLX... only a handful of people think the RLX is the best bang for your buck/better value.

Yumcha

It's the Ron-A of cars.

Ron A just killed two new members after reading that comment

Yumcha

When Ferrari, Koenigsegg, McLaren, and Porsche decided to build their latest halo cars, they benchmarked those cars against the RLX.

Majofo

eh.. the boat is full enough.. and with the twerps the new models are bringing in along with the twats that can afford the older models.. Good riddance!

TacoBello

I'd likely get a bus pass and burn the remaining $69,950. Better value

polobunny

Cmon don't exaggerate. There's good trusty Civics available for cheap, you don't need to take the bus!

TacoBello

we never talked about upgrading from the RLX

what year is it!?
and I know its supercharged?

is it the M-edition?

TacoBello

Oh... i was waiting for a comment about shitty Mazdas

It's a 2007. What's an M-edition? Never heard of it. Otherwise it is a fully loaded GT model with the power retractable hard top and sport package.

It is supercharged with the Cosworth kit.

TacoBello

*still waiting for shitty ghey Mazda comment*

im thinking about picking up a 1996 mx-5 with 12k miles for about $4k.
the NA's had an M-edition with LSD and better interior and wheels.

TacoBello

Just looked... M-editions were from 94-97.

Man, they are pretty nice!

TacoBello

Dude... M editions are collector Miatas... only 12000ish produced during the 4 year span. If it's in good shape, you're making off like a bandit for that price.

Good condition NAs are still the most sought after. Something about them being the first gen, the lightest, the original, etc.

TacoBello

All about the M edition

Mazda MX-5 Miata M Edition Field Guide

As :ghey: as Miatas are, and there are a lot of haters out there, they're a pleasure to drive. It's funny because those who end up buying one, end up buying again and again. If they sell, it's nothing but regrets.

Definitely not a fast car, but you can throw them into a corner like there's no tomorrow- all you need is really sticky tires (Potenza RE-11As!!) and you'll have a smile on your face. The aftermarket support is absolutely ridiculous for these cars. You can upgrade anything you can imagine, with multiple options for each. Do a mild turbo build or super charge it just to get a bit more oompf out of the car and you'll start neglecting the TL

I'm super jelly you found one for so cheap. That thing would easily sell for double up here. With that kind of mileage, you could flip it easily for 10k (CAN) without issue. They weren't even offered here- no wonder I didn't know about them.

I dont know if this particular car is an M-edition or not.
my brother works at Sears Hardware and a co-worker causally threw out that he's selling his '96 miata with 12k original miles.

it sat in a garage for almost 19 years.

so, if its the M-edition, icing on the cake...
if its the regular version, well, that one is still cool too.

my brother did say that it was a dark blue color and reading that website you linked, the 1996 M-edition was only in dark blue!

im trying to not get my hopes up tho, incase it's the regular base

Majofo

Your mom probably told your bro to ask if you wanted to buy a miata.. the verify if you like sucking dick or not.

thoiboi

holy crap... finally finished the whole thread (got derailed by the engagement ring )


yeah.. wow.... also major e-blueballs with that..


also revitup was a prick... glad he's gone.

polobunny

Like that needed confirmation.

TacoBello

Would you still buy it if it wasn't an M edition?

thoiboi

I wasn't here back then

thoiboi

Umm guises..... M editions are for BMW's not Mazdas....


If you see a Miata with an M badge... I think it's safe to say it's fake...

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

probably.

it only has 12k miles.


since, I am not in contact with the seller, i have to relay messages to brother, brother then ask seller...
so, i'm waiting to hear back when I can go check it out

TacoBello

I bet you some old dude originally bought it and then croaked. Sat in storage since.

then again you said the same thing about me with the s2000 and we proved that that was just a phase i was going through, unrelated to car.

TacoBello

I'm sure you, as well as the seller have one of these


I'm not sayin', but I'm just sayin'...

TacoBello

is that phase still going on?

Yumcha

I suppose if I never was going to propose and go through the process of blowing a pile of $$$ on a rock, I would never have picked up the load of BS and lies BoostedJack was writing and the advice he was providing...

But, the timing was perfect and that was the beginning of his end...there is no way $60K got him the ring he was describing.

fuu... gotta consider all this crap in a few years.. been dating the gf long enough. live with her now... all friends keep asking when i'm going to pop the question so a ring will be in the near future.. I've forever told myself I didn't want to drop a buttload of money on it.. but who knows if that'll change in a few years.. Your story partially rung true with me Yumster, she doesn't expect much but is so giving. Difference between our situation is her parents and I get along rather well..

It's nice to see/hear other's stories so I can make an informed decision though... right now the timeline is ~2-3 years to pop question (maybe earlier?) and marriage in 4-5 years.. I love the idea of lab-grown diamonds so am still leaning towards that (hate blood diamond concept..) budget: ?? I'm a horrible when it comes to budgeting.. If it fits the bill and i like it, i'm sometimes okay with spending extra $$ on it..



Sorry for the D&R derail but y'all fuckers talking about cars... so 3G ramblings is a madhouse..




needs more tossing salads..
